  Case: On parent is in and another is out
When I was interning in a 5th grade class, I had a student that was having trouble in class. When we had parents conferences, one parent was all in and wanting to make sure the student was set and would discipline him if he was not completing work and losing his homework. The other parent didn't care that the student wasn't doing well in the classroom and just didn't seem to care about his grades.
How would I deal with this, if I was the teacher talking to these parents?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I wouldn't give up on the other parent that is not as involved as the other. I would try to reach out to make them feel they are able to be involved. This may change how the parent is feeling towards their child's education. Also maintain good communication with the involved parent.

Comments: I like this solution to not give up on the uninvolved parent, but also keeping in good communication with the involved one. There is a good chance it could change the way the uninvolved parent handles their child's education.
